Nursing Care of Vulnerable Populations Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which part of an educational program probably needs improvement if only 25% of community members meet the learning objectives after completing it?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Content. If only 25% of community members meet the learning objectives, it indicates a problem with the content provided in the educational program. The content may be too complex, unclear, or not aligned with the learners' needs. Educator (A) could be a factor, but if the majority is not meeting objectives, it's more likely content-related. Learners (C) may struggle due to content issues. Objectives (D) could be too ambitious or not well-defined, but if content is not effectively conveying information, objectives won't be met. Therefore, improving the content is crucial for better outcomes.
Question 2 of 5
A teenager with diabetes doesn't want to inject insulin. The nurse tries to be empathetic while teaching the teenager how to give insulin and clarifying why insulin and glucose level control are so important. The teenager still refuses. The diabetic educator decides that the teenager needs a facilitator. What behaviors can a facilitator use beyond what the nurse-teacher has done? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The facilitator can build a relationship of mutual trust. This is important because building trust with the teenager is crucial in order to facilitate open communication and collaboration in managing their diabetes. By establishing a relationship of mutual trust, the facilitator can create a supportive environment where the teenager feels comfortable discussing their concerns and fears related to insulin injections. Rationale: 1. Building trust fosters a positive relationship: Trust is essential in any form of communication and relationship-building. By establishing trust, the facilitator can create a safe space for the teenager to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. 2. Encourages open communication: Trust allows for open and honest communication between the teenager and the facilitator. This open dialogue is crucial in addressing any barriers to insulin administration and finding alternative solutions that work for the teenager. 3. Promotes collaboration: Trust lays the foundation for collaboration in managing the teenager's diabetes. By working together, the facilitator can help the teenager explore
Question 3 of 5
A nurse has been making ongoing visits to a preschool to help the staff teach the children important skills, such as brushing their teeth after meals. Now the nurse is scheduled to teach carbohydrate counting to adults newly diagnosed with diabetes. What will the nurse need to do differently for this audience? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Appeal to the need for autonomy and choice. For adults newly diagnosed with diabetes, it is crucial to empower them by appealing to their need for autonomy and choice. By involving them in decision-making and goal-setting, they are more likely to take ownership of their health and adhere to the carbohydrate counting regimen. This approach fosters self-efficacy and motivation. Incorrect choices: B: Emphasizing that anyone with diabetes must know this information is not tailored to the individual needs and preferences of the adults. C: Explaining how to cope with being a guest at a dinner may not be directly related to teaching carbohydrate counting and may not address the primary learning needs of the audience. D: Recognizing that this audience will depend on the instructor to set goals for learning undermines the importance of empowering the individuals to take control of their health decisions.
Question 4 of 5
In what way could Florence Nightingale be considered an epidemiologist?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because Florence Nightingale is considered an epidemiologist for demonstrating that a safer environment leads to a decreased mortality rate. She implemented sanitary practices in hospitals, which significantly reduced the spread of infections and improved patient outcomes. This is a fundamental principle of epidemiology - that environmental factors impact health outcomes. The other choices are incorrect because they do not directly relate to epidemiology. Choice A focuses on nursing care, choice C on improving living conditions, and choice D on providing emotional support, which are all important aspects of healthcare but not specifically related to epidemiology.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is concerned about the high incidence of STDs in the community college population and sets up a special STD screening. Which students would not be encouraged to attend?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because students who claim to not be sexually active and do not plan to become sexually active do not fall within the target population for STD screening. The purpose of the screening is to identify and provide treatment for individuals who are at risk of or already have STDs due to their sexual activity. Since these students are not engaging in sexual activity, they are not at risk for STDs and therefore do not need to attend the screening. Students in choices A and B should be encouraged to attend the screening as they are sexually active and could benefit from the early detection and treatment of STDs. Choice D is also incorrect as being sexually active, regardless of the extent of sexual activity, still puts individuals at risk for STDs and they should be encouraged to attend the screening as well.
